I actually agree Karigan L. I don’t get why people with no background in music have to bash her. If you look at all the people who do vocal range videos on youtube, they all say she’s amazing and they can’t wait to hear her voice when she’s 18. Carly’s lower register is husky and rich. Her middle and upper register are light and bright. I think she’s capable of going into the sixth octave. So you uneducated fools need to back off. She didn’t arrange the songs she sang on the x factor. Remember she’s 13. AKA still a child. Her cousin was on youtube saying Carly reads the negative comments on these sites and on twitter. So careful what you say. People have feelings.

Max, I get what you’re saying about the belting. However, I disagree with you about her ‘pop stardom.’ I think she’s going to be our next great vocalist because her lows and mids are already excellent. She surpised me with her upper register. It’s very light. She has great musicality. I love her use of dynamics. I think she’s young and has a ton of potential. You can’t expect her to be perfect yet, she’s 13. She has 10 years to work on her already amazing vocal. She’ll get her head voice down. In 3 to 5 years, you’ll see. She will be slaying her own generation. I know because I’m a vocal coach.

I still say Rachel Crow sang ‘If I were a boy” better than Carly. Anything Carly sings she fakes her emotions or exaggerates it and I blame her broadway background. Like when she sang John Lennon’s “Imagine”, she sang it in a very angry manner. Wrong emotion Carly is what I kept saying. And then her crying after “It will Rain.” This is why I dislike actors becoming singers. They easily fake emotions. Whenever I read articles about her performances, they always said that her performances were theatrical or cabaret-ish. And they do scream broadway to me. And that’s a bad thing if you want a pop career. Google it: Carly Rose Sonenclar vs. David Archuleta: why David’s cover was superior. It mentions that Carly’s voice is too big for pop stardom and she fits broadway better. And I see it in all her covers, her belting and runs are excessive..thats’s what they do on broadway. Her phrasing is never short. When you are 13, you have no business belting that much because your vocal chords will ruin. Ask classical and pop vocal coaches. They always say broadway based vocal coaches are bad for children because they emphasize belting way too much and young people under 16 have to limit that because of its effects on the folds of the vocal chords. If she’s serious about a pop career, she needs to move to L.A. everyone records there, hardly anyone does it in NY. All the producers aand songwriters live in L.A. I have hope that when Carly is signed, the producers will change the way she sings.

Angie you seem kind of bitter. Carly covered Alica Keys, Judy Garland and more. Not everyone puts songs on You Tube with professional equipment. Calm down you will have more than enough time to rip her apart when her professionally produced album comes out ( because we all know you will no matter how epic is will be) I would assume her Manager is having her slowly submit new songs as any artist would do. Give the people a taste and they want more. Just take a chill pill
